Irvine Meadow can look forward to potential money-spinning ties in the senior Scottish Cup after securing full SFA membership.
The Ayrshire oufit, who ply their trade in the West of Scotland League, saw their application approved at a board meeting of the governing body yesterday.
They will officially becoming full members at the SFA AGM on July 24, meaning they will be eligible to play in next season's senior Scottish Cup.
The development comes after months of hard work behind the scenes to upgrade Meadow Park to the required standard.
The club took a giant step towards their dream in February when the switch was flicked on the first set of floodlights to grace Meadow Park in the club’s proud 124-year history.

Delighted Meadow general manager Brian Lamb broke the news to supporters in a Facebook video earlier this evening.
He said: "A big thanks to everyone, committee, sponsors, everyone who has helped us get to the winning line.
"We're the first team in North Ayrshire to achieve this.
"Next year we're looking forward to playing in the big Scottish Cup.
"Hopefully we get a home draw, or maybe an away tie and a draw and then back to Medda Park under the floodlights.
"This is where we want to be."
Lamb admits he'd love another crack at Falkirk after the League One cracks beat Medda 5-0 in a pre-season clash last Saturday.
He added: "We'd take Falkirk at home if we get through the premilinary rounds."
